WELCOME to Media Movers, tracking some of the moves – including retirements and promotions – in the Scottish media scene…
FIRSTLY, as part of organisational changes to the structure of Media Scotland (publishers of the Daily Record, Sunday Mail, insider.co.uk, etc), managing director and editor-in-chief, Allan Rennie, will be leaving the business on March 28.
In a statement issued by Media Scotland owners, Trinity Mirror, Simon Fox, chief executive, is quoted, as saying: “Allan has had a distinguished career at Trinity Mirror over the past 24 years. He edited the Daily Record and Sunday Mail and served as editorial director for our national titles.
“I am enormously grateful to Allan for his leadership of the business and wish him every future success.”
In the same statement, Allan is quoted, as saying: “I am so proud to have worked with so many talented people in Scotland and across the Group over the last 24 years. I loved my time at Media Scotland, overseeing the best national and local titles in the land and the launch of exciting new sites such as GlasgowLive. I would like to thank all my colleagues at Trinity Mirror for their support – and wish them all the best for the future.”
